Who Is Really Liable for Your Car Accident?

Posted By Stephen Stewart || 3-Sep-2015

Getting injured in an automobile accident is no small affair. Depending
on the severity of your injuries, you could be up against a lifetime of
pain and suffering. Indeed, many Austin residents who have
traumatic brain injuries,
spinal injuries or multiple broken bones from car accidents may find it impossible to
walk, earn a living or complete other daily tasks without special assistance.
As you can imagine, the long term costs of such injuries relating to lost
income, lost wages, lost opportunity, lost quality of life, medical bills,
in-home assistance and other damages are significant.

A
personal injury lawsuit to recoup car accident damages, no matter what the circumstances, usually
boils down to negligence. Determining who was negligent, and therefore,
liable in a crash is always the first order of business -- outside making
sure that all victims have received appropriate medical care. Usually,
police reports and police investigations can help in determining if another
driver's negligence and/or unlawful behavior are to blame for a particular
accident. However, in cases that involve automobile manufacturer or automobile
part manufacturer negligence, police might not identify exactly what was
to blame for the crash.

This is why, at the Stewart Law Firm, PLLC, we look at all possible angles
that could have caused an accident and its resulting injuries or death.
We look for issues like defective child car seats, SUV rollovers, unsafe
vehicle roof designs, unsafe vehicle seats, defective fuel systems, defective
ignition devices, the overall crashworthiness of a vehicle's design,
unsafe tires and other problems and defects that can serve to cause an
accident or worsen the injuries associated with an accident.

The Stewart Law Firm, PLLC has helped numerous individuals in the Austin
area recover financial compensation to pay for the costs relating to their serious
car accident injuries. We have helped people who were injured due to the negligence
of other drivers and we have helped people who were injured due to faulty
